Let me pick your brain Mark II and Mark IIN shooters - 09-15-2007, 01:05 PM


Ok, Mark II sports shooters. I have been trying to find the best settings for the "C.Fn" focus servo speed and C.Fn 16 the focus points to use, 45, 11 or 9 focus points etc..
I have read the Canon book and the Adam Christopher book.

If you don't mind sharing what kind of settings are you using?

example for
C.Fn 10
C.Fn 13
C.Fn 16
C.Fn 17
C.Fn 20

and is anyone using a different focusing screen from the one that comes with the Mark II?
Any other books on the Mark II series cameras that would be worth getting.

It might be a while before I can get a Mark III.

Thanks in advance for the input and suggestions.

If you haven't read this Canon document, you might find it interesting regarding Cfn setups. http://www.usa.canon.com/content/Han...OS_Digital.pdf
